Glomus eburneum does not have a widely recognized common name. It is a species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi known for its role in forming symbiotic relationships with plant roots. These fungi are primarily referred to by their scientific name in most contexts.
DefinitionA glomus tympanum tumor is a tumor of the middle ear and bone behind the ear (mastoid).Alternative NamesParaganglioma - glomus tympanumCauses, incidence, and risk factorsA glomus tympanum tumor grows in the temporal bone of the skull, behind the ear drum (tympanic membrane).This area contains nerve fibers (glomus bodies) that normally respond to changes in body temperature or blood pressure.These tumors usually occur late in life, around age 60 or 70, but they can appear at any age.The cause of a glomus tympanum tumor is unknown. Usually, there are no known risk factors. Glomus tumors have been associated with changes (mutations) in a gene responsible for the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase (SDHD).SymptomsHearing problems or lossRinging in the ear (pulsatile tinnitus)Weakness or loss of movement in the face (facial nerve palsy)Signs and testsGlomus tympanum tumors are diagnosed by a physical examination. They may be seen in the ear or behind the ear drum.Diagnosis also involves scans, including:CT scanMRI scanTreatmentGlomus tympanum tumors are rarely cancerous and do not tend to spread to other parts of the body. However, treatment may be needed to relieve symptoms.Expectations (prognosis)Patients who have surgery tend to do well. More than 90% of people with glomus tympanum tumors are cured.ComplicationsThe most common complication is hearing loss.Nerve damage, which may be caused by the tumor itself or damage during surgery, rarely occurs. Nerve damage can lead to facial paralysis.Calling your health care providerCall your health care provider if you notice:Difficulty with hearing or swallowingProblems with the muscles in your facePulsing sensation in your earReferencesRucker JC.

DefinitionA glomus jugulare tumor is a tumor of a part of the temporal bone in the skull. This tumor can affect the ear, upper neck, base of the skull, and the surrounding blood vessels and nerves.Alternative NamesParaganglioma - glomus jugulareCauses, incidence, and risk factorsA glomus jugulare tumor grows in the temporal bone of the skull, in an area called the jugular foramen. The jugular foramen is also where the jugular vein and several important nerves exit the skull.This area contains glomus bodies, which are nerve fibers that normally respond to changes in body temperature or blood pressure.These tumors usually occur later in life, around age 60 or 70, but they can appear at any age. The cause of a glomus jugulare tumor is unknown. Usually, there are no known risk factors. Glomus tumors have been associated with changes (mutations) in a gene responsible for the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase (SDHD).SymptomsSymptoms may include:Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)DizzinessHearing problems or lossHearing pulsations in the earHoarsenessPainWeakness or loss of movement in the face (facial nerve palsy)Signs and testsGlomus jugulare tumors are diagnosed by physical examination and various scans, including:Cerebral angiographyCT scanMRI scanTreatmentGlomus jugulare tumors are rarely cancerous and do not tend to spread to other parts of the body. However, treatment may be needed to relieve symptoms. The main treatment is surgery. Surgery is complex and is usually done by both a neurosurgeon and a head and neck surgeon (neurotologist).In some cases, a procedure called embolization is performed before surgery to prevent the tumor from bleeding too much during surgery.After surgery, radiation therapy may be used to treat any part of the tumor that could not be removed completely.Some glomus tumors can be treated with stereotactic radiosurgery.Expectations (prognosis)Patients who have surgery or radiation tend to do well. More than 90% of those with glomus jugulare tumors are cured.ComplicationsThe most common complications are due to nerve damage, which may be caused by the tumor itself or damage during surgery.

Mycorrhizae involve a symbiotic relationship primarily between fungi and plant roots. The fungi, such as species from the genera Glomus, form a network of hyphae that extend into the soil, helping the plant absorb water and nutrients, particularly phosphorus. In return, the plant provides the fungi with carbohydrates produced through photosynthesis. This mutualistic association enhances plant growth and ecosystem health.
According to SOWPODS (the combination of Scrabble dictionaries used around the world) there are 1 words with the pattern --OMUS. That is, six letter words with 3rd letter O and 4th letter M and 5th letter U and 6th letter S. In alphabetical order, they are: glomus
So there are two types of chemoreceptors that can sense blood oxygen level changes: aortic bodies and carotid bodies. Aortic bodies are located along the aortic arch. The specific cells in aortic bodies that detect blood gas changes are called glomus cells and they sense the gas changes, then give feedback to the medulla oblongata, which then regulates breathing and blood pressure. Carotid bodies are located at the fork of the carotid artery. It also uses glomus cells to sense differences in oxygen's partial pressure and then sends signals to the medulla oblongata.
